3M folded optics
Birefringent reflective polarizers are used to produce compact, mid field-of-view (FOV) eyepieces and wide FOV optics for VR head-mounted displays using folded optics in the lens configuration. Multiple configurations for folded optics lens systems may be optimized, with advantages and disadvantages relative to refractive systems. Polarization control is an important consideration and the polarizing effects of different components are discussed. Designs for mid and wide FOV with additional benefits of using folded optics for virtual reality systems are explored in the below paper.

3M transforms virtual reality into reality
By updating centuries-old technology, a small team of 3M scientists has sparked a revolution in virtual-reality headsets.
In the early 2010s, a handful of 3M scientists were given an open-ended mission: apply the company's extraordinary array of technologies to a big, emerging opportunity. "3M likes to discover opportunities that are technically very challenging, that require large-scale manufacturing and where being early creates a strong competitive advantage," explained Erin McDowell, AR VR Business Development Senior Manager. "That's what we were looking for."
